<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taxidermist, post: 1573100, member: 24849&quot;]Sorry to bring up the old thread but the &quot;<font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4"><b>Asterisk</b></font></font>&quot; part in OP tips is no longer relevant, as eBay disabled the * wildcard search support. First I checked Google to see what other places say about it and noticed nobody on CT mentioned this, as far as I could see. </p><p><br /></p><p>I`ve made most of my most successful purchases by finding them using asterisk, about 98% of all my searches included asterisk to cover all the spelling mistakes and variations. Ever since this option was disabled, I hardly spend time on eBay (used to be daily) and did not purchase 1 item since then...</p><p><br /></p><p>This user from eBay Boards covers exactly what I think about this:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>(<a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.ebay.com%2Fdb1%2Fthread.jspa%3FthreadID%3D5200116095%26rw%3Dtrue%26anticache%3D1352752035542" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fforums.ebay.com%2Fdb1%2Fthread.jspa%3FthreadID%3D5200116095%26rw%3Dtrue%26anticache%3D1352752035542" rel="nofollow">http://forums.ebay.com/db1/thread.jspa?threadID=5200116095&amp;rw=true&amp;anticache=1352752035542</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no doubt eBay does whats best for eBay, not the buyers or sellers, but for me this is a huge inconvenience and I just can&#039;t think of a reason for eBay to do something like this. Its like if Google disabled all their search operators and you could only use 1 word instead of longer phrases when you search.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
